.SH "CRASHECHO COMMANDS"
.TP
\fBareafix\fR\ [\fB\-\-check\fR]
Scan primary netmail area for AreaFix requests.

forward requests and removed areas.

Toss .pkt files and bundles in inbound directories.
.sp

security checks.
.sp
If \fB\-\-bad\fR option given, CrashEcho will retoss BAD area.
.TP
\fBscan\fR\ [\fB\-\-area\fR=\fIAREA\fR|\fB\-\-list\fR=\fIFILE\fR]\ [\fB\-\-ignore\-flags\fR]
Scan all areas for messages to export. If \fB\-\-area\fR specified,
CrashEcho will scan only this \fIAREA\fR, if \fB\-\-list\fR specified,
CrashEcho will scan only areas listed in \fIFILE\fR.
.sp
Unless \fB\-\-ignore\-flags\fR option given, CrashEcho will use
\fInetmail.jam\fR/\fIechomail.jam\fR files for faster scanning
(available only if CrashEcho compiled with JAM support).
.TP
\fBrescan\fR\ [\fB\-\-max\fR=\fINUMBER\fR]\ \fIAREA\fR\ \fINODE\fR
Rescans the specied area for the specified node. If \fB\-\-max\fR
specified, CrashEcho will rescan no more than \fINUMBER\fR messages.
.TP
\fBremove\fR\ \fIAREA\fR
Remove specified area and unsubscribe if necessary.
.TP
\fBnotify\fR\ [\fB\-\-HELP\fR|\fB\-\-INFO\fR|\fB\-\-LIST\fR|\fB\-\-AVAIL\fR|\fB\-\-QUERY\fR|\fB\-\-UNLINKED\fR]\ \fINODE\fR
Send AreaFix response to \fB%HELP\fR, \fB%INFO\fR (default),
\fB%LIST\fR, \fB%AVAIL\fR, \fB%QUERY\fR or \fB%UNLINKED\fR command to
a node.
.TP
\fBlock\fR
Lock CrashEcho's configuration file and exit. CrashEcho has a simple
locking mechanism to ensure that two instances of CrashEcho never use
the same configuration file at the same time. You can use this if you
want to temporarily stop CrashEcho from running.
.TP
\fBunlock\fR
Remove lock on CrashEcho's configuration file and exit. Only use this
when the configuration file previously has been locked with \fBlock\fR,
otherwise terrible things might happen.

.SH BUGS
Don't use the ~ character in paths. Such paths are expanded to point
to your home directory by the shell and not by the i/o functions in
the system. They will not work in CrashEcho.
.PP
In *.msg areas, make sure that all files are named *.msg and not *.MSG!
If they are not named in lowercase, CrashEcho will not export them.
